Microsoft would have sold heck a lot more Surfaces and Surface covers if they did this:
$500 for Surface RT 32GB
$600 for Surface RT 64GB

I want(ed) a 64GB Surface RT. But the only option I had was $700 Surface RT with black cover. That’s it.

First of all, I didn’t want a Black cover at all and didn’t justify PAYING for it. Also, I wasn’t willing to spend ADDITIONAL $120-$130 to get the cover I wanted.

If I could have walked out paying $750 for a Surface RT 64GB with Typecover and stylus? I probably would have already had a Surface RT 64GB.

But, throw in the type cover, I’m at $830. Throw in stylus? $850+. Sorry, I might as well pick up an Atom powered tablet that comes with a dock that does not only give me a full keyboard but also increases my battery life as well.
